Stamping Sunday - Bloom Where You're Planted

Welcome to this month's Stamping Sunday blog hop! 
 

You might have noticed that the Creation Station blog hop didn't happen this month. We have some fun news! We are merging together with the Stamping Sunday group, and will now be hopping on the third Sunday of the month. We are working on a new combined name and logo, and will debut that next month. For now, enjoy this month's projects with the theme Fresh Starts & Creative Beginnings.
 
For my project, I wanted to use some fresh new products, as well as a sentiment that speaks to my heart about new beginnings and moving forward.
 

My card is a slimline card. The front measures 4" x 7", and it will likely become a decor piece in my workspace! I've used the gorgeous new Lovely & Beautiful Designer Series Paper. This paper has a touch of gold foil, and I've carried that through my design with other gold elements.
 

I've used several stamp sets here - Sweet Blooms for the sentiment and A Round of Hellos for the stamped flower.
 

I hope you've been inspired by my project today! Be sure to hop along and see what the rest of the team has created. You can find the hop over on Instagram, or follow the list below.
 
Happy Stamping!
Rachel

Inspiring Imperfections Card Class

Hello, and happy 2026! Today was my first card class of the year, and I think it's the perfect one for starting fresh. 
 
Did you know? I do an online card class every week live on my Facebook business page at 12:00 PM Arizona time on Thursdays. It is free for anyone to watch, and if you can't make it live, you can watch the replay either on Facebook or on YouTube. I didn't get a chance to post the last few classes from December, and then I took a bit of a break over Christmas from my weekly card classes. (I did, however, do a 12-day video series with projects from the 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar, so make sure to check that out on my YouTube channel!)
 
This week's card class features the Inspiring Imperfections Bundle and coordinating products from the Kintsugi Inspirations Suite Collection. While these products are not brand new, I wanted to share them because they are based on a beautiful metaphor - you can take the broken pieces of something and put them back together to create something new and even better than the original! Isn't that a great way to look at a new year too? Take the broken pieces of whatever happened last year and start fresh with something new. I love it!

Christmas Flash Class!

Hi, friends!

I've had to cancel this week's online card class, but I am offering a Christmas Flash Class instead! This class is only available for one week, and it ships out rather quickly (by December 5). I did a quick video to show the cards and explain a little bit more about the class. You can watch the video here:  
 

Here's a little peek at the cards in this class. There is a danger of this paper going out of stock, so while I will do my best to order as class registrations come through, I may have to make a substitution. 
 

To add a little bit of extra fun, I am also going to add a gift to some of the packages. For every 5 class kits that are purchased, I will choose one random person from everyone who has purchased this class to receive one of our $14 kits. Yay! 

This class is available to purchase until Friday, November 28. Class kits will ship out by December 5. If you'd like to purchase the class, please fill out the registration form, and I will send you an invoice. 
 
Please let me know if you have any questions.
 
Happy Stamping!
